Description
The purple cone flower or Echinacea purpurea is a popular flowering perennial in the Aster family. It has a distinctive spiky brown center surrounded by pink or purple daisy like petals. In this image however, I have greatly exaggerated the colors to create a surreal dreamlike effect. The scientific name for cone flowers "Echinacea" is derived from the Greek word echino meaning hedgehog. The center of the cone flower certainly is reminiscent of a hedgehog. Painterly texture added.
